Ever feel like people counted you out? That you wouldn’t be a success and pull through your own personal challenges? But- when you did…you SHOWED OUT?! Meet Kalisha Carmichael, socially known as Fly, a Newark native, and the CEO of Boss Blend Coffee Co. On this episode, Kalisha shares her life story and how she went from a space where her dreams were “dead” to now actively building a thriving coffee business. The years in-between were ROUGH but laid the foundation for where she is today.

Fly talks about how why she wanted to see people who looked like herself, represented in the coffee industry and how she strived to create a safe space for the Black community to enjoy the coffee culture. For Fly, #dreamdriving meant diving deep and unlocking her inner tenacity and resilience. Fly keeps it real about what we really have to do if we want to stop dreaming about it and start living the life of our dreams.

Some of the things we discuss on this podcast include:

  • The best mistake she’s ever made in business
  • How she launched Boss Blend and sold $1,000 worth of product her first day
  • How COVID-19 rocked her world and catapulted her into full-time entrepreneurship
  • Tips for #dreamdrivers struggling to believe in their dreams
  • How motherhood informs her grind..and more!

FLY'S KEYS TO SUCCESS: 1. Belief in yourself 2. Be resourceful 3. Trust your higher power/ faith
